Nothing much beats the feeling of a freshly cleaned kitchen.  The shiny worktops, gleaming floor and sparkling sink - not to mention the beautiful fragrance you can experience as you walk by.  But as one of the busiest spots in the house, we know just how tough it can be to keep on top of.

One of the easiest ways is creating, and sticking to, super easy and effective routines that make cleaning a breeze.  So here’s our simple step-by-step guide to help you create a sparkling clean kitchen in record time.    

Daily Cleaning Routine

Let’s start with what you can do day-to-day.  They might seem small, but these little jobs can soon mount up making tackling the kitchen a tough job.  So here’s our favourite steps for a daily cleaning routine: 

1. Wipe down worktops: After each meal, take a few minutes to wipe down worktops, tables, and other surfaces with a Multi-Surface Cleaner. This prevents the buildup of daily dirt and grime, and kills 99.9% of bacteria.  Not to mention it smells amazing! 
2. Do the dishes, stat: Where you can, tackle those dishes before settling down with Netflix.  Doing them sooner rather than later avoids stubborn stains, making cleaning the dishes much easier!  For any tough stains, we recommend soaking your dishes in washing-up liquid.  Our Foaming Washing-Up Spray is a game changer when it comes to those hard-to-reach places.  You don’t even need a bowl of water!  And if you’re using your Dishwasher most days,  always use a plastic-free Dishwasher Tablet.  Ours leave your pots and pans sparkling - all without the plastic waste.
3. Sweep the Floor: A quick sweep quickly cleans up crumbs and any other unwanted bits you may find on the kitchen floor!  Helping it look super clean and tidy. 
4. Clean the Sink: Rinse and thoroughly clean the sink every day if you can.  Even better if you can use an Anti-Bac Multi-Surface Cleaner that kills 99.9% of bacteria. 
5. Declutter: Spend a few minutes each day organizing utensils and removing any unnecessary items from countertops to create a clean, tidy and relaxing space. 

Weekly Cleaning Tasks

1. Deep Clean Appliances: Where you can, dedicate a bit of time to clean your most used kitchen appliances like the oven, microwave, and fridge. Our Foaming Washing-Up Spray is the best tool for the job - the nozzle delivers a steady mist helping you get to those hard to reach spots.  So all you have to do is wipe away with warm water, Find out how to here.
2. Mop the Floors: After sweeping, mop the kitchen floor to remove any remaining dirt and stains, paying special attention to grout lines. For an even speedier clean, use our All Purpose Floor Cleaner - there’s no need for a bucket, just squirt and mop!
